4a) Would you expect n-butylithium to be a strong enough base to deprotonate 1-butyne? i. (4 pts) Draw the products for the reaction of n-butylithium with 1-butyne: H3C li. (2 pts) Which side of this reaction is favored? (circle) products or reactants ii. (4 pts) Provide a brief explanation for your answer (and this should also answer the original question of whether nBuLi is a strong enough base to deprotonate 1-butyne). iv. (4 pts) List 2 other bases that are strong enough to deprotonate 1-butyne. v. (4 pts) List 2 bases that are NOT strong enough to deprotonate 1-butyne.
